AIR FLIGHTS-Two Newport youths, Walter Buckman (sic) and Sam S Morrison, of Maple av. who have been building an airship for the pat six months will make a trial spin either Saturday or Sunday afternoon if the weather permits. They will attemp to fly from Hurst's farm Independence Ky. to the Latonia Race Track. The ship is being removed from the workshop on Maple av. today.

A stock company has been formed with a capital stock of $50,000 to promote and finance the building of their patented airship. Both Buckman and Morrison have been working on their patent for several months on the quiet, and nobody except a few friends knew of their plan until today.
